SmartView V11.1.1.1 Connection to V9.3.0

We have SmartView 11.1.1 installed and I need to be able to connect to an Essbase cube v9.3.0. I am able to connect to v9.3.0 planning connection when I select the Independent Provider Connections. When I use the link URL for SmartView v9.3.0 (https://server.com:19000/aps/APS) I get the following error: "Content is not allowed in prolog.". I found in some documentation that the new version of SmartView is downward compatible with 9.3.x but I am having problems making this connection. Please advice if anyone has come accross this problem and how to resolve it?

Hi,
I have tested the following with 9.3.1 :- you cannot connect smartview 11.1.1.1 client to an older version of analytic provider services.
Though what you can do is go into V11 EAS add a new Essbase Server pointing to your 9.3.0 essbase server.
Then in V11 EAS add a new a new standalone server which should pick up your 9.3.0 version
Now in Smart View connect to your V11.1.1 APS server and once connected you will be able to go to add under Oracle Essbase, under product server name enter the name of your 9.3.0 server.

"Out of memory" error using SmartView v11.1.1.3.500, MS Excel 2007 & MS Win7 Prof SP1 (all 32-bit)

Hi All,
A user is regularly experiencing "Out of memory" error messages while retrieving large MS Excel 2007 worksheets (ad-hoc analysis; approx 700 rows by 13 columns) connected to a Planning cube via 32-bit SmartView v11.1.1.3.500 (Build 008) on a 32-bit MS Windows 7 Prof (SP1) computer with 4GB of RAM. The same user is reporting experiencing a number of other issues (eg, TCP-related time-out, unable to connect to the APS, SmartView add-in disappearing, etc) at the same time.
I could not locate any specific KB document from the My Oracle Support website which addressed these specific issues all at once but from various posts out there, the recommendations to address similar issues were as follows:
Tick the Options > Display > Reduce Excel file size option;
Tick the Options > Display > Improve metadata storage option;
Rebuild the MS Excel workbook from scratch;
Delete all temp files located in the C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Local\Temp directory;
Disable auto-recovery for MS Excel;
Add misc TCP-related registry entries (eg, TcpTimedWaitDelay, MaxUserPort, MaxFreeTcbs, etc) on both the client PC and server;
Adjust MS Windows for best performance;
Increase the page file by 25%-50% more than the physical amount of RAM installed on the client PC;
Relocate the page file to a different drive as compared to the drive where MS Windows is installed on the client PC;
On top of the above, are there any other recommendations anyone else would like to share to address the "Out of memory" issue?
Many thanks in advance,
JBM

Monitor the Full GC in GC log and see if there is any gradual increase in the free memory retained after every Full GC over a period, if there is a gradual increase and if its reaching maximum specified heap over a period of time, that means there might be some slow leak from application or native libraries.
Also please check if you have any pattern or request which might be triggering OOM all of the sudden.
If its memory leak best way to investigate that is to capture JRA's at regular interval's and monitor top 10 objects and see which one is growing and consuming more % of heap over a period of time.
You can also have this by captured by print_object_summary and print_memusage options in JRCMD command over a period of time.
Hope this helps.

Smartview v11 does not have batch and scheduling capabilities?

From reading documentation, it seems that Smartview v11 does not have batch and scheduling capabilities. Am I right?
So if I want to schedule my Essbase reports and run cascading reports to be batched and emailed to different users (each receiving custom repors for their Business Units), how would I go about it?
Should I create the rep;orts using Financial Reporting and batch email it out to users, who can then convert those FR reports to Smartview so that they can perform Drill-in detail analysis ?
Thanks in Advance.

You could also possibly run a VBA based excel macro to create a "Batch" process that would update a sheet or create a workbook, and email the file to an end user. Looking within the smartview VBA commands there are some pretty useful commands that could automate this process for you. I'm not sure on the process you would use for automating a process to send FR reports, but emailing from within excel is not usually to hard to do via VBA and might help to automate this.

Find Next button is not working in member selection for Smartview V11.1.2.1

Hello,
Quite urgent.
When group of users select Smartview --> Member Selection --> "FindNext" or "Find" button is not working.
The same option is working fine with my credentials. But problem exists for set of 3 users.
Please suggest asap.
Thanks in Advance,
Tej

Hi Iain,
Thanks for your reply.
* All 3 users are part of same group.
* Created user with similar group and checked for member selection option to verify "Find Next" button functionality. It worked fine.
* Verified filters assigned to this group. No filters are assigned.
* Checked for version again - Version is V11.1.2.1.00 (Build 271). It is exactly same as other systems where the functionality is working fine.
* Installation is carried out by company IT team as administrator, so that can not be an issue.
kindly suggest if you have any other inputs to be verified.
Best Regards,
Tej

Smartview v11.1.1.3 drill through reports does not work in grids?

Hi,
I'm using v11.1.1.3 and know there is a drill through function to FDM from Smartview grids. I've tried but it does not work in the grids, only works in the forms. However, I'm able to drill through to FDM from workspace grids. Does anyone encounters the same?? Appreciate any kinds advices. Thanks!

Are you certian that the report is showing an input level cell? Often reports are designed to run at Total dimension members, i.e. <Entity Curr Total> which you can not drill into.

Smartview VBA - Using HypCreateConnection to connect to different Providers

Hello,
I am currently working with Smartview 11.1.1.3.500. I am trying to build some code that will allow me to switch between our production and test environments that are on different APS URLs, rather than having to go into the options and typing in the server information everytime I need to switch. It looks like the HypCreateConnection function would be the one that would allow me to do this, but I'm not sure if I'm using it correctly. I am trying to send the Prod or Test APS URL and database info into the vtProviderURL and vtServerName parameters.
HypCreateConnection(Empty, [userName], [userPass], HYP_ESSBASE, [Prod/Test APS URL], [Prod/Test Server Info], [AppName],[DB Name], [Prod/Test Name] , "Analytic Provider Services")
However it seems that despite passing the URL to the function, the connection is using the information that is saved in the "Default URL" box in the "Hyperion Provider Service URL" section, in the "Ad Hoc" tab of the Hyperion Options window, which is where I've been manually typing in the Prod or Test URL everytime I need to retrieve their respective data.
The result is that after running my code, the "Smart View Data Source Manager" indicates that the APS URL being connected to is what was saved in my options, rather than my code.
Any help would be appreciated

I just realized that this is should be in the Smart View forum. Admins, feel free to move this thread.
Edited by: 1002778 on Apr 26, 2013 1:21 PM

I tried creating a connection and connecting and it is working for me. This is the macro that i used.
Sub create_connect()
sts = HypCreateConnection("Sheet2", "username", "password", HYP_ESSBASE, "http://testservername:19000/aps/APS", "testessbase", "app", "db", "App:DB", "Test Cube1")
sts = HypConnect(Empty, "username", "password", "App:DB")
End SubRegards

Change SmartView 11.1.2 shared connections default names?

Is there any way to change the descriptions of the available shared connections descriptions? i.e. if I add a new Planning server connection to my shared connections list it appears in the list as "HP-11.1.2 - Oracle Hyperion Planning, Fusion Edition". I'd like to change it to something more meaningful.
thx

From the SV user guide - You cannot add, edit, or rename shared connections, but you save them as private connections, which you can edit and rename.

Configuring Application Porvider Services (APS) for SmartView V11 - Linux

I have got a distributed architecture for Hyperion Planning. Essbase is hosted on a Linux server.
The essbase is registered to the Shared Services hosted on a different server.
While trying to create a data connection through Common Services Provider (in Smart View - Ver 11) the URL does not get resolved.
Is there a way to configure APS to the shared services.
Many Thanks.............

Can you give some details about your architecture?
In general do some checks:
1. During installation of provider services web-application, did it register correctly with the Shared Services.
2. Refer to the manual deployment guide and find the URL which will tell you if the deployment is fine.
3. In Essbase administration console, add the provider server under Hyperion Provider Servers.
4. Ping the APS server and netstat to see if the service is up.

Sayantan

SmartView Error "Cannot Connect to the Provider. Make Sure It Is Running...

Hi All
Our user are getting below error when they try to connect from SmartView
Cannot Connect to the Provider. Make Sure It Is Running in the Specified Host/Port.Error(12031).
We are on 9.3.3 planning.our web server is WebSphere
Please suggest
Thanks,

You might want to increase the timeout and check:
Smartview in Excel utilizes some Microsoft settings that it obtains From IE. When running on IE 7 or higher there are new settings that have a low default time out. You can increase these by following the instructions in the articles listed below
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813827
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/181050
Make sure you have a safe backup of the windows registry before you do this .
1. Open the Registry (Start -> Run -> Regedit)
2. Locate the following section:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\
3. Create the following new keys for DWORD with Hexadecimal values:
ReceiveTimeout and set it to 00dbba00
KeepAliveTimeout and set it to 00180000
ServerInfoTimeout and set it to 00180000
4.Disconnect and close the Smartview and launch a fresh connection

Smartview Error V11.1.2.1 Addin Class

I have a user who has just installed Smartview V11.1.2.1 after de-installing v9.3, when they open Excel they get an Addin Class error message displayed.
They have de-installed and re-installed three times with admin rights, and still the same error message. The version of Excel is 2007 and the OS is XP.
Has anyone had the same issue, I cannot find any other threads with the same error message.

Give all users of Smart View full access to the following registry key on the server: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData

Smartview connection problem.

Hi,
I have a planning application. I opened an excel file and created a connection by using hyperion shared services url wizard.
the URL is "http://hypdemo:13080/aps/SmartView".
After creating this connection I tried to connect this connection piece But I got an error message
saying "essbase legacy addhoc no longer sported in NON-APS connection manager.switch to APS connection manager".
What should I do to correct this issue.?
I have been searching all forum posts since yesterday but I could not find anything similar with this issue.
so any advice would be realy helpfull as I am feeling hopeless to find any solution relating this issue.
tnx.

If you want a planning connection then you can try an independent connection go to :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/sv_user_help/frameset.htm?conn_add.htm
If you want a common provider connection try :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/sv_user_help/frameset.htm?ch05s02.html

ODT v11 Beta Installation Problem - Can't connect to Database

Hi, I'm having difficulties setting up the ODT 11.1.0.5.10 beta. I'm fairly new to Oracle so I apologise if I've missed something obvious!
First of all I tried installing ODT 10.2.0.2.21 and that worked fine (after I copies tnsnames into the appropriate folder).
However, after installing v11 I can't connect to any of our databases anymore, either through VS2005 of PL/SQL developer, which we normally use. When I try to set up a data connection (in VS Server Explorer) using ODP.Net, I get 'ORA-12154: TNS: Could not resolve the connect identifier specified'.
If I try to make a connection using the .Net Framework data Provider for Oracle, I get 'ORA-12541: TNS: no listener'.
Testing the connection using Oracle Net Manager, however, succeeds without a problem.
i put the tnsnames file in there, so that's not the problem. I'm not sure if the installation worked properly, as there are a lot less files & folders in the new Home added for the beta than in the one added for v10.2
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Grant

Yeah, you could be onto something with the path, thanks - it seems like the installer for the v11 Beta misses \bin off the end of the new Oracle home path, which causes problems. Since fixing that, I can now connect with PL/SQL developer.
however, I am still facing one problem which my colleague also seems to have. We have an 8.1 client installed, and when we try to set up a connection with VS2005, it uses the tnsnames from the 8.1 client.
There is also a strange issue whereby if you go into the advanced settings, the database name is only set to the first couple of characters of the actual name, which is probably why it isn't working. However, if I set the correct name in the advanced settings, when you come out of that dialogue into the standard connection dialogue, the database has reverted back to the first one in the list, putting me in a most annoying vicious circle..
Even this problem has now taken a back seat as I am now unable to load the connection screen at all' getting a 'Package Load failure' message (it seems to think the package is using a GUID which isn't on the system). This remains even if i reinstall the v11 Beta. I'm not sure how I got into this situation, but it seems that there is some DLL registered in VS2005 which is now incorrect and doesn't get reset on uninstall/installation.
If anyone has any thoughts on my myriad problems please share them with me!
Thanks,
Grant

I cannot connect to Oracle Essbase from SmartView

Hello.
When we open SmartView from Excel 2010 and connect to the Shared Connections with "admin" account, we cannot see "Oracle Essbase" option to select. This occurs in the developer environment. In production environment, we can select "Oracle Essbase" from the dropdown.
SIM env:
PROD env:
The installation was identically apparently.
How can we solve this problem?
Thanks a lot.

Hi ,
Could you check if Provider services is enabled in workspace settings.
Scroll down to last,
And try re-logging into workspace and then open an excel and see if you are able to see Essbase connection.
Make sure the user has admin access or make the changes through admin id.
Thanks
Amith
